Montgomery Presents Indoor Cemetery Walk for Seniors

Presentation is a followup for those who cannot attend the Oct. 7 outdoor event.

At 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, the Historic Preservation Commission will present an indoor version of the Cemetery Walk for those who are unable to attend the event in the cemetery on Oct. 7.

The reenactment will take place in the board room at the Village Hall, 200 N. River St.

The annual Cemetery Walk takes place in Riverside Cemetery. Guests are led through the cemetery in small groups to meet the fascinating “ghosts” of early pioneers and other residents of the cemetery as portrayed by costumed actors. This is not a scary event, but an opportunity to learn more about the lives of those men and women who contributed in various ways to Montgomery’s history.
